Not All Lesbians Are Lesbians

People from the Greek Island of Lesbos are known as Lesbians and they want the world to know they're not a bunch of gay woman (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Three Lesbos islanders are petitioning a Greek court to ask one of the country's gay associations -- the Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece -- to stop using the word "Lesbian."

For those who don't know, Lesbos is the home of the ancient poet Sappho who celebrated the love between women.

"My sister can't say she is a Lesbian," said Dimitris Lambrou, one of the litigants, according to the Associated Press. "Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos."

Perhaps the court can consider changing the islands name to Homophobia, and the people there can happily be known as Homophobics.
